Reviews: 1-day tour to Kawa-kawa river cruise in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah - double river channels, fireflies, proboscis monkeys, and beach sunset
Guest User2026-07-23
The experience was superb! Convenient transportation with pick-up and drop-off, smooth journey, and a tour guide providing commentary throughout. The three main attractions – mangrove forest, sunset, and fireflies – created a truly immersive atmosphere, making for a wonderful family trip. Thank you to the business! Highly recommended, I'll definitely come again next time!★

Reviews: Bongawan Mangrove, Fireflies River Cruise & Sky Mirror Day Tour | Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
Guest User2025-12-01
It was a pity we didn't see the proboscis monkeys, but we did see a lot of fireflies, which was nice. The Sky Mirror was also a great spot for taking pictures. Overall, apart from the disappointment of not seeing the proboscis monkeys, I was quite satisfied.★

Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Kawa-Kawa River Cruise Proboscis Monkey & Fireflies with Hi-Tea & Dinner Shared Day Tour
Guest User2026-11-07
10/10 experience with [Mr Handsome Jeff] as our guide! He knew how to keep us engaged throughout the long trip even though we were a group of introverts haha. Kawa-kawa river is definitely the river to choose if you prioritise seeing the fireflies! Super lucky to have gotten a private car ride and even the entire night boat to ourselves since it was off-peak season! Definitely made the experience all the more magical.★
